✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Gérard Bertrand's 'Terroir' Red is a vibrant tribute to the wind-swept hillsides of the Languedoc in southern France, a region where viticulture has flourished since Roman times. Crafted by the visionary former rugby player turned biodynamic pioneer Gérard Bertrand, this cuvée captures the wild, untamed beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. The wine is typically a classic southern French blend dominated by Syrah and Grenache, grown on mosaic soils of limestone and clay. The vines are subjected to hot, sunny days tempered by cool sea breezes and the dry Tramontane wind, which naturally keeps the grapes healthy. Traditional maceration and careful temperature control preserve the intense primary fruit flavors, resulting in a wine that beautifully reflects the local 'garrigue'—the wild scrubland of thyme, rosemary, and lavender that surrounds the vineyards.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Vinhuset Gérard Bertrand blev grundlagt i 1992 af den tidligere professionelle rugbyspiller af samme navn. Med udgangspunkt i familiens rødder på Domaine de Villemajou har huset udviklet sig til et globalt pejlemærke for den sydfranske region Languedoc-Roussillon. Hovedsædet ligger på Château l'Hospitalet i kystappellationen La Clape, hvorfra Gérard Bertrand går forrest med biodynamisk vinavl på tværs af hundredvis af hektar førsteklasses vinmarker. Gennem et kompromisløst fokus på biodiversitet, bæredygtighed og terroirets renhed skaber huset en alsidig portefølje af både stille vine, mousserende vine og hedvine. Vingården nyder international anerkendelse for ambitiøse prestigecuvéer som Cigalus, Clos d'Ora og Château l'Hospitalet samt for sine elegante tørre rosévine, udtryksfulde enkeltdruevine og historiske Vins Doux Naturels.
